I want something sharp and readily accessible, and if it's dull, I want to replace the blade and get on with my day. As such, I'm not interested in a fancy Swiss-made Damascus steel urban explorer serrated edge super tactical EDC knife. I don't want to sharpen it, worry about the blade when cutting through something I shouldn't, breaking the blade, rust, whatever. I carry a knife for daily use (and use it very regularly), but have zero interest in maintaining it. Just watched the compact EDC video you linked to, and have a comment to add about compact daily-use knives. In response to our ongoing conversation about EDC (everyday carry), reader Kyle writes: Tips & Tools readers join in the conversation. Gar shares fascinating, useful, and fun entries as he reads through Tools and How to Use Them by Albert Jackson and David Day. Bonus: They look especially nice in your fridge. We’ve been using jar storage for a month or so now and the berries definitely last much longer and don’t mold. We all know how frustrating it is to buy berries that seem to immediately start spoiling the moment you get them home from the store. Recently, a friend of my wife’s shared a tip with her that I was initially skeptical of: Berries will last a lot longer if stored in glass jars in the fridge. Most of us arent’t making that DiResta bank. But now that DiResta mentions it… Of course, you don’t have to use fancy Starrett M1 lube, at close to 30 bones a can. And, he points out, more makers are starting to feature sapwood in combination with heartwood to celebrate the entire tree and for the aesthetic contrast between the two wood types. Not true if used correctly, says James (and he details the challenges and solutions). The video is about woodworkers who think sapwood (lighter, moister, outer wood) is too weak and should be removed from heartwood (inner, stronger, more durable). James of Stumpy Nubs is a fan of Dave’s, too, and got his permission to tease him in this fashion. I was a little concerned seeing the thumbnail image to this Stumpy Nubs video showing the wonderful Dave Picciuto under the title “Wasteful Woodworkers on YouTube.” Turns out, the juxtaposition was a playful bit of clickbait.
